ShittyKopper, (edited ) in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?

the rule of thumb here is that you should really just use one browser ad blocker. having multiple will conflict especially regarding anti-adblocker prevention (as uBO will try to hide itself and redirect to a “defused” version of an ad script and whatever other ad blocker you have will think that’s an ad and block it)

not entirely sure how well DNS ad blockers fit into this. there is a chance they could make your ad blocking detectable by blocking a request uBO intentionally lets through (possibly in a modified state), but as far as i’m aware there haven’t been too many issues stemming from combining DNS blockers with uBO and the likes.

Multiple browser adblockers will also make your browser fingerprint more unique, which is undesirable for privacy reasons.

I think the only option going with VoIP: I just made a quick search for VoIP services that accept XMR and found this: cryptwerk.com/companies/voip/xmr/

I don’t know any of these services so DYOR but I think you should be able to find something pretty solid (depending on your threat model of course). Overall I don’t know if going non KYC is even possible. However if you should find a way would you mind sharing your experience with us?

  • amio,

    Not really. Depending on how it works, it can slow down the browser itself due to needing to inspect and change content. Simple URL filters will, if anything, speed it up by blocking you from even trying to download unnecessary or malicious stuff.

    end to end encrypted file sharing server, Send: github.com/timvisee/send-instances/

    jitsi conference room server, or matrix chat server.

    you could run an Oxen node for the Session onion messenger, or a relay for the SimpleX messenger. these are especially important things we need to reduce decentralized messenger dependence.

    As the others have said, a Google (search engine) replacement will have the most “privacy returns”. Take a look at whoogle and searx, or if you can mak them switch to another search engine like duckduckgo

    Xirup, in Helping others privacy through self-hosting?

    I guess you can self-host privacy respecting front-ends like Piped, LibReddit, Invidious, etc.

    DirigibleProtein, (edited ) in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

    Pick a random book from your shelf.

    • Open at a random page. Take the first word on the left page.
    • Open at another random page. Take the first word on the left page

    Repeat for as many words you like. Discard words you don’t like. Slam the words you like together.

    Examples:

    • thickestneedhelped
    • ritestayoutdoors
    • passedthejust
    ExLisper,

    I see a pattern here…

    Cheradenine, in AstianGO - Search with Total Privacy

    If I remember right it is a Searx fork. That company also makes a Webview browser, and a Firefox fork for Android.

    English word + four numbers

    TheOctonaut,

    That’s what you think, Michael

    Do random word generators exist?

    ETA: https://randomwordgenerator.com/

    vaselined,

    They do. You can use passphrase generator of any pw manager. Bitwarden has a nice one

    Interesting. I also found the url above.

    satanmat, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

    May not be popular….

    But Apple can use hide my email, similar to Bitwarden.

    So there’s another option

    I appreciate what they are doing but they are doing it in all the wrong ways. They need to work on there PR if nothing else

    Pantherina, in Redirect Youtube.com to Freetube desktop app?

    Yes Freetube.

    But… maybe you also want to use an Invidious instance that uses googlevideo javascript instead of proxying the videos? So you dont actually suck their resources.

    Because Freetube runs on Electron which is Google, and I am not sure how hardened it is, probably just “not bad”.

    Do you know any minimal Invidious UI you can run from a Podman/Docker container? Like just the frontend, so that I can use Firefox instead of that. I think having that as a base and adding the freetube features would be great.

    Maybe we’ll eventually see a version of FreeTube running on Tauri one day (one can dream).

    Pantherina,

    Damn, nice project!

    ExtremeDullard,

    Electron which is Google

    How did you figure that out? Because Electron is based on Chromium?

    In which case, I suppose you don’t trust Brave because it’s Google too.

    Pantherina,

    Yeah Electron is Chromium hahahah. Sorry for the dumb abbreviation.

    Its bloat for sure. An extra app, it takes a time to load and all. Has really great features though, makes Youtube tolerable.

    No, I have ungoogled Chromium laying around but I am simply sad that Firefox Webapps or actual Apps are not a thing.

    DmMacniel, (edited )

    And Electron uses V8 which is again Google.

    ExtremeDullard,
    @ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    V8 is open source. Just like Chromium, Google doesn’t control it.

    lea,

    They very much do control it and are quick to implement unwanted features in corporate interest like Web Integrity API, which has been removed again only after backlash.

    ExtremeDullard,
    @ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    No they don’t: you’re free to create your own fork, or compile out the stuff you don’t like from the main repo - which is what all the Chromium-based privacy-focused browsers out there do, including Brave.

    Vexz,

    Do you know any minimal Invidious UI you can run from a Podman/Docker container? Like just the frontend, so that I can use Firefox instead of that. I think having that as a base and adding the freetube features would be great.

    Use your favorite search engine and you'll probably find something. Or self host a Piped instance. It's very similar to Invidious but imo even better.
